The natural way to make your photos more powerful.

"I'm very, very impressed. The nuances of color and light just pop
from the monitor as you begin to utilize the multitude of sliders
within the Clarity program. Highly recommended."

"Want to give your photos a kick without introducing ugly halos? Topaz Clarity does just that, providing detailed control over a wide range of image attributes and a generous range of presets."

MIKE TOMKINS, IMAGING RESOURCE

"Topaz Clarity gives an amazing level of control over your image. Even Lightroom doesn't measure up when it comes to contrast/clarity adjustments."

RACHAEL TOWNE, PHOTOLUMINARY

"It doesn't matter if you're shooting fashion, architecture, or landscapes, micro-contrast can make your images POP. You'll jump up and down in your editing chair from joy. In short, Clarity ROCKS."

FRANK DOORHOF, FASHION/CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHER

Give your photos that extra natural pop.

Do your photos look perfect straight out of the camera?

Ours don’t. If you’re like us, photos come out flatter than you’d like. We adjust color and contrast to bring out their true beauty. But the hard part not overdoing it: we want to create a beautiful and striking image that still looks completely realistic.

Topaz Clarity makes this easy. Clarity’s micro-contrast technology first studies your image, then lets you adjust contrast in a way that’s best for that specific photo.

If you have a flat photo that lacks contrast or depth, Topaz Clarity will be like a magic pill for your image.

Beautiful photo contrast like you’ve never seen before.

When was the last time that using the Contrast slider produced a breathtaking image? Chances are, it blew out highlights and crushed shadows in your image instead.

Topaz Clarity is the modern version of the Contrast slider, with better technology and better results.

“It enhances local contrast, which gives your image crisp details, better tonality, and “sharper” features without losing highlights or shadows.

Clarity yields unprecedented control over every aspect of contrast. I was pleasantly surprised with its ability to recover shadow while increasing contrast for a much edgier look.”

“When I ask ‘does this picture need anything else’… the answer is usually Topaz Clarity. I absolutely love this plug-in.“
